Mael requested to merge MaelRL/vespa:Vespa-Imps-MaelRL into master Nov 05, 2024

Hi,

I am https://github.com/maelRL/, from CGAL.

Please consider the following merge request.

These changes started from noticing that you were using CGAL::Simple_Cartesian for the CDT2 and Advancing Front Reconstruction modules, whereas these two algorithms should be run with a kernel providing exact predicates such as EPICK. Otherwise, correct (or even valid) results cannot be expected.

Commits should be rather self-explanatory but let me know if you have questions or if something must be changed.

A few points of discussion beneath.

Thanks!

CDT2

For CDT2, there is a bit of an inconsistency in the code, and I am not sure what you want: comments here and there say that overlaps are prohibited, but the default intersection tag (which you use since you don't select it) is CGAL::No_constraint_intersection_requiring_constructions_tag. That particular tag allows overlaps and T-like intersections of constraints. I have made the tag explicit in 4f830183. This aligns with your comments, but maybe you would rather have CGAL::No_constraint_intersection_requiring_constructions_tag, and the comments are to be changed.

Also, just to make sure: you output all the finite faces of the CDT2, which means the convex hull of all your point; is this what you want, or are you rather expecting the region bounded by constraints (something akin to the example: https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Triangulation_2/Triangulation_2_2polygon_triangulation_8cpp-example.html)

Issues

Below are a few (unsolved) issues I encountered trying to use / test the vespa code from source.

My versions are the following OS: Fedora 39 CGAL: 6.0.1 (master branch) VTK: 9.2.6 (from the dnf package manager) Paraview: a previous local build @ 873227f3cba1330d1f2043669403f0c7fd82e7be (not installed) Build type: debug

Using the tests

Running the tests, I get (even with Vespa master) the following output:

Using the plugin

If I enable VESPA_BUILD_PV_PLUGIN, and after specifying my paraview folder as described in the readme, I get the following error while configuring:

Unknown CMake command "vtk_module_python_default_destination".
